I am a newbie too; I was diagnosed just 11 days ago. I have surgery scheduled for 9/12. I can tell you, the people on this forum are amazing. I posted my story, which is so similar to yours, just 2 days ago and received 12 replies encouraging me, making me laugh and basically comforting me. It has helped me in the fact that I do not feel alone anymore. WE are going to get through this.</p>
<p>Prayers to you.<br />

We are kinda lucky in a messed up way kidney cancer is curable a high percent of the time when I started to feel sorry for myself I looked online and seen all the kids with terminal cancer and how they always have a smile on there face. And living with one kidney has not be any different for me at all </p></div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li class="comment_forbidden first last"><span><a href="/user/login?destination=node/245316%23comment-form">Log in</a> or <a href="/user/register?destination=node/245316%23comment-form">register</a> to post comments</span></li>

I've been part of this select group for almost 6 months now. I was diagnosed in Feb and had a radical nephrectomy on March 16. Since then, I've resumed motorcycle riding and camping and trying to enjoy life.</p>
<p>Take care.</p>

<p> Welcome to our club. I am very happy to be able to welcome newbies and tell them that as a result of your relatively small tumor you have an excellent chance of being cured by the surgery alone. Unfortunatly others start with more baggage and they have a more challanging road ahead.</p>
<p>My story started a little over 10 years ago. Being told at age 59 that you have Kidney Cancer and that you are going to have major surgery is not fun. My surgery was on 8.1.2002 and the little bugger was 4.2 cm. Since than I have had a lot of tests but no further treatment.</p>
<p>As you check out the different posts you will find a lot of us cured by the surgery alone. You will also read the posts of others who came into this with a much more challanging diagnosis. Do not try and contemplate those more difficult situations as from what you wrote you will come out of this fine.</p>
